Page ix Acknowledgments In reflecting on the many debts, both professional and personal, that I have incurred in the preparation of this study, I am particularly grateful to my wife, Mary Sue Deisher Cave, whose constant support and encouragement over the years have meant so much. Special mention must also be made of Marvin L. Michael Kay, my colleague, office mate, and close friend at the University of Toledo who patiently read several drafts of the manuscript and offered trenchant criticisms that led to both stylistic and substantive improvements. I am grateful also for the superb critical assistance of the editors of this series, Barry O'Connell and Colin Calloway, and to Neal Salisbury, whose report on an earlier version was of great value in resolving some problems of organization and emphasis. Thanks are also due to editor Janet Benton and other staff members at the University of Massachusetts Press. I am grateful also to Will Alpern, Joseph Michael Becker, Michael McGiffert, and Alden Vaughan, all of whom read and critiqued some of my earlier work on the Pequot War. The University of Toledo administration provided support for my research activities in the form of two sabbatical leaves and several travel grants. Particular thanks are expressed to the late James D. McComas, former president of the University of Toledo, to William N. Free, former vice president for academic affairs, to William Hoover, former chair of the Department of History at the University of Toledo, and to Carol Menning, present chair, for their support and encouragement. And last but hardly least, thanks to Louise Celley of the Department of History who typed the manuscript not only with great accuracy but with unfailing good humor. TOLEDO, OHIO AUGUST 1995
